I just installed the Buddy club racing specs and was wondering if there is a general how to on setting them up? Kind of like a step by step for adjusting the camber, toe, etc. Or should I just have them tuned by a pro.

Problem is there are no good shops in vegas. Any idea on how much a good shop like road race charges to allign and adjust them?

Thanks in advance for all the help.

 

Paying someone to do it would be easiest, and may achieve the best results (Road Race Eng for instance).

However, you will not learn much that way. So...if you want to learn to set your car up yourself, then there are numerous books and internet resources out there that will teach you a great deal.

The choice is up to you

 

you should go with your original idea and drive it off a cliff

 

I hate you.

I would suggest getting a basic alignment first, those coilover probably threw your toe setting out and it will be murder on your tires. Once you get a base setting, you're ready to play with some adjustments.

 

So get a good allignment and the adjust the camber and height? Or would changing the ride height mess up the allignment.

 

Oh yes, adjusting the height will affect the alignment, sorry. I was thinking you had it sitting right and just wanted to play with dampening/preload.

If you don't have a tuning shop nearby, you might just get the height close to what you like, measuring the height on the left and right sides to make sure they are even, then get it aligned. Just don't put off the alignment too long, it may be eating away at your tires.

 

Ok thanks

 

1st: Set ride Height - All 4 Corners
2nd: Set Corner Weight - All 4 Corners
3rd: Set Alignment - All 4 Corners

BTW - I charge alot to align a car

 

I am new when it comes to this. Corner weight is set by adjusting what? and allignment?

 

Corner weighting is done on the scales. It is the proper way to balance the weight of the car, front to rear - left to right. Corner weighting is done by moving the lower spring perches - up or down - to move static weight around the car.

Alignment is the camber and caster adjustments.
